For me, it depends how much I want the seller to accept my offer and how willing I would be to walk away from that amount of money.If I'm playing hard ball on a property I'm not crazy about I might offer $1,000.

Scroll down the page and look for cities above the line for good performance.https://www.airdna.co/blog/best-places-to-buy-a-va...A word of warning - from someone who’s spent waaayyyy too long playing around on the AirDNA web site: they measure profit as revenue minus mortgage.In many cities, a large chunk of the high airbnb revenues come from very specific highly desirable properties in highly desirable areas (e.g., baller properties that are downtown or oceanfront or lakefront, etc).

@William StricklandCalculate deals you can use a simple calculator, the issue is typically never the calculator but the data that is input into the calculatorGarbage in = garbage out and this is where experience and knowledge come into play.

Tampa, Orlando, Miami, Broward, Jacksonville and their surrounding areas are all booming right now and can be great long term hold plays that still will cash flow if you find the right deals.

While the closing costs may be higher than a HELOC, the long-term interest savings might outweigh this initial expense depedning on the property value, LTV, credit, etc.Really depends on your strategy/perspective (short/long-term play, where rates are going, current fianncial position, etc).

I think that might be the more plausible value play.

@Jane KimWow, everyone is really encouraging aggressive plays here.Assuming this is your first purchase, I would wait until you close, move in, and start getting rental income from the hack before doing anything else...

If they reject the offer, then I would play hard ball by enforcing every term of the lease and ensuring they participate in showings or face termination.

If you do go that route, be careful not to hold yourself out as the GP, or at least clearly explain the roll you played because there are quite a few GP's in hot water right now who at the minimum were intentionally vague about their roles creating the perception they have a track record that doesn't align with reality.

I have played the 0% balance transfer game for some larger inventory purchases in my retail biz and good old 0% balance promos at Home Depot (personal) and Sears have financed quite a few apartment renos too.With a long and stellar credit history It doesn't seem to impact my FICO4 & 8 too much but it will *crush* the vantage 3 score which penalizes HEAVILY those who actually USE their credit and I'm talking still less than 30% of available.
